On my current pvp gear (full ruth + leg staff), while maintaining hit capped I can reforge up to 27% crit chance, without gemming (since I use int/res). So if you were to have 4 ele shamans as a boxer with each 27% crit chance, that would result in a 72% chance that 1 spell crits. (it would require 68% crit chance per toon to have 99% chance that 1 spell crits out of the 4 btw). Seeing what you lose out on mastery, and the benefits you gain from overload, crit is not worth gemming / reforging for. But crit is far from a bad stat for ele, it's just the least desirable, since the other stats offer more. Many other classes their least desired stats are much worse than what crit is for ele. But taking the 3 talent points in acuity should be a no brainer (over EP).
